CREATE A SCENE

Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge today at Allsorts where the theme, alongside Anything Goes, is Create a Scene as chosen by Lynn. 

For my card I have used a Creative Expressions die set called Christmas Village.  I die cut a circle in the middle of my stitched square and then added a piece of green snowy looking paper to the back of the circle.  I tore a piece of white card for the snow, added the sentiment which is from a Spellbinders set and arranged all the little elements to create a scene. A few little pearls were added for embellishment.

There are two prizes of Lavinia, one a collection of mini/small stamps with bottle sticker for scene making and three stamps as second prize.

I hope you can join us in the challenge.  I know it's a busy time for everyone at the moment, but the challenge closes on 31st December so there will be time after the big day to have a play.  I know I always look forward to the week after Christmas as it is relatively quiet and I can have a play in the craft room.  I I try to make my DT cards in advance and I'm so pleased I have this past week as I haven't had chance to do anything in there lately.

This will be my last post before Christmas so I would like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and thank you for visiting and all your lovely comments throughout the year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS STENCIL

Morning Everyone,

I hope you are keeping well. There's a lot of colds and flu about, but fingers crossed we'll escape it.   I bought this Spellbinders stencil in a sale from Oakwood Direct a while ago as I thought it would be nice and flat for posting and decided to have a play.

I used various inks of shades of green and pink, mainly copying the colours from the packet picture, as it was my first attempt, but will try and be more adventurous in future.  The sentiment comes with a die as well but I opted to stencil direct onto the card.  I've added various sparkly centres to the flowers and then matted with gold and deep pink paper.

I would like to enter this into:

CHRISTMAS

 Morning Everyone,

A new challenge is starting over at As You Like It and the theme is anything Christmas.

For my DT card I have chosen to have a play with a new die from Concord & 9th called Ornament Inlay die.  I die cut it first in the off white cardstock and then, after I decided on the colours, added snippets of coloured card to the die and die cut again and again.  The only bits I haven't used snippets on are the holly and leaves as I wanted a soft green so used ink on those.  The circles in the middle are silver mirri card although they look black in the photo.

The sentiment is from a Woodware set and is heat embossed in silver.

We look forward to seeing all your Christmassy projects.  I think I'm about done with mine now.  I've been stamping the insides of my cards this week, which is my least favourite job.  I suppose I should complete the insides as I finish a card then I wouldn't have them all to do at once!

I would like to enter:

Snippets Playground - The blue, peach, corners and berries were all snippets,  although I didn't take a photo, sorry.

Have a good day and thank you for visiting.

"NEW" AT ALLSORTS

 Morning Everyone,

We are starting with a new challenge over at Allsorts and Liz has chosen the theme of "New" such as home, baby, job etc and there's always the Anything Goes option.

My daughter asked me to make a card using the Honey Bee stamps dies "Bundle of Joy" for a friend so that is my DT card.  I have used very similar papers to a previous card, but only 3 outfits for a change.  The Congrats is a Creative Expressions die and the smaller part of the sentiment was made on the pc.  I've added hessian and little pearly hearts.

There are two prizes, A$ and A5 stamp sets from AALL and Create

I would like to enter this into the Snippets Playground as the baby clothes, rack and hangers were all snippets, but I forgot to take a photo.

I hope you can join us with your "New" events.  Have a lovely weekend.
